Make direct BigML project requests actionable
When a project request arrives in a Slack DM, Notis can take care of the BigML setup and keep the request from becoming another thing to remember.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Create Project
Tool to create a new project. use when you need to group related bigml resources into a project.
Why this helps
A direct request can disappear beneath other messages, especially when it requires switching tools before any visible progress is made.
- Turn an explicit project request into a concrete BigML project.
- Reduce the mental overhead of tracking a setup request from a DM.
- Keep a run report visible in the channel you choose.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and BigML to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create a BigML project when a direct message requests one.
- 3Select the direct message received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with a real project request DM and verify the new project in BigML.
Questions about this workflow
Does this watch direct messages only?
Yes. This workflow uses Slack's direct message received event, which catches DMs across DM channels.
Should every DM start a project?
Use a prompt that asks Notis to act only when a DM clearly requests a new BigML project.
